AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE 350 PM CDT TUE AUG 21 2007 .DISCUSSION... STRONG ZONAL FLOW ACROSS NORTHERN CONUS WITH UPPER LOW SPINNING ACROSS EASTERN CANDIAN PRAIRIES HAS ALLOWED DRY LINE TO SURGE ACROSS WESTERN/CENTRAL CWA AGAIN TODAY WITH TEMPS UPPER 90S TO NEAR 100 AND DEW POINTS DOWN TO MID 30S. RED FLAG CONDITIONS HAVE VERIFIED ACROSS EASTERN PANHANDLE INTO SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA. SFC ANALYSIS HAS LOW OVER NE CORNER OF CWA WHERE FOCUS FOR SVR WX SHOULD INITIATE LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING HOURS. STRONG INSTABILITY AHEAD OF DRY LINE WITH DPNTS IN THE MID 70S FROM BBW TO ONL ALLOWING RATHER LOW LCL HEIGHTS WITH CU TAPPING NEAR 4KFT AND FAIRLY GOOD SHEAR IN LOW LAYERS PER WAVE CLOUDS IN THIS CU FIELD AND TORNADO POSSIBILITY NEAR DOUBLE POINT. HAVE SOME CONCERN FOR POPS ACROSS SOUTHWEST CWA. NAM NOT VERIFY EARLY ON WITH DRY LINE...BUT SHOULD RETREAT WELL BACK TO THE WEST AND INDICATIONS OF HEALTHY LLVL JET TONIGHT COULD REFIRE CONVECTION BACK INTO SANDHILLS PER NAM. HOWEVER KF NOT INDICATING THIS IN LOCAL WSETA AND WILL HOLD OFF FOR NOW. FEW ACTIVE DAYS AS MODERATELY FAST FLOW CONTINUES TO THROW ENERGY INTO PLAINS. FRONT SHOULD BE MEANERING NEAR SOUTHERN BORDER SO CHANCE POPS CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY BEFORE WEAK RIDGE BUILD IN AND STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW SHIFT NORTHEAST. && .AVIATION... MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED...THOUGH TSRA CHANCES INCREASE MAINLY AFTER 3Z ESPECIALLY FOR LBF TAF. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IS TSRA DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMENT AS DRY LINE HAS PUSHED THROUGH THE TAF LOCATIONS THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...AS THE FRONT STALLS WOULD EXPECTED A WWD DEW POINT SURGE AGAIN...AS LLJ KICKS IN. AFTER TSRA WINDS DOWN SOME STRATUS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG AND NORTH OF WHERE FRONT ENDS UP. SO...WOULD EXPECT SOME MVFR TO SHOW UP WITH TWEB ROUTES 264 AND POSSIBLY 098. && .FIRE WEATHER... RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE THROUGH EARLY EVENING AS DRY LINE HAS DROPPED RH LEVEL WELL INTO LOW TEENS.
